I have found the following sites useful for local info:

Cambridge Evening News http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk

Cambridge Search Engine http://www.camcity.co.uk

Keith Edkins Cambridge Web Guide http://www.gwydir.demon.co.uk/cambridgeuk/

BBC Cambridgeshire http://www.bbc.co.uk/cambridgeshire

Hope that helps!

www.adhoc.co.uk does exist, try flushing your dns cache

at dos prompt type ipconfig /flushdns

How would that help when we use a squid cache?

Yes, it looks like just a change of address without a preceding
reduction in TTL, with the result that the old address is still
stuck in DNS caches.

That's the thing to do in Windows 2000 or XP.

Back again.

Though http://www.adhocity.com/cambridge/ is still bust. Could it be that this is another
URL that has just been arbitrarily abandoned... mutter... mutter...linkrot....mutter.

Hmm, a link to cambridgedating.com :)
This should have been the answer to the post from 26th January 2002,
Subject: WANTED-Girls to go out with, and kiss on the lips!
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=42bfc154.0201262035.b0197f9%40posting.google.com&output=gplain

While I'm at it, "Ian S"'s post from 15th August 2001
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=9mpe7.938%24gF5.61142%40news2-win.server.ntlworld.com&output=gplain
could do with a similar answer.

Isn't Google wonderful? :)

Share and enjoy,
Tim.

PS. Sorry about the long URLs.
